~REFLECTIONS~

REFLECTIONS* is an ongoing audio-visual archive capturing the art and culture blossoming out of the queer/trans community of Philadelphia. We AIM to create high quality documentation of performances and workshops of artists and educators across Philadelphia that ARE both live-streamed and archived to be accessible for decades to come.

we livestream using OBS. If you’d like to learn how to do the same, check out the step-by-step guide we made here.

made possible with funding from the Leeway Foundation.
